• Most retailers today have an “omni-channel veneer” that is managed by “sealing wax and string” behind the scenes
• This may satisfy customers (when it works), but at a significant cost to you.
• The most successful retailers in the future will have a purpose built cross functional structure for omni-channel. – The flexibility of the supply chain with be a key competitive differentiator
• Even if you are aren’t a retailer, this could affect you. – “Endless Aisle” – Direct ship from supplier to customer or retail outlet
Considerations and implications
![Page 8: The Warehouse of the Future - IM&C › fileadmin › imc › daten › Publications › ... · Digital channel growth outpaces store growth, putting new pressures on supply chain](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e99d7ee66ac25a347bc3c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• Establish central view of inventory across the whole operation – Stores – Warehouse – In-transit
• Prioritize fulfilment based on the most profitable location
• Ensure ecommerce returns to store are effectively managed. – And properly accounted for!
• Start to build an omni-channel vision for the whole organisation and test all new developments and technology against this

Impact on the Warehouse
11
Efficient and cost effective staffing at Peak • Peak demand spikes @ +20/25% • Peak now compressed into shorter time • Growth of direct shipping impacts the DC
Issues: - Recruitment, Timing, Training
Accuracy • Consumers’ demands are different from B2B • Ratio of cost per error is higher • Britain's largest apparel retailer measures the cost of
– re-shipping, – the ‘goodwill’ voucher sent to the customer
– customer service call

Impact on the Warehouse
12
Cost per transaction • Smaller orders in higher volumes, more ‘each’ orders • Increased travel time for picker = increased cost to pick, • Packing • Shipping • Higher Returns Rates • Note - Primark
Operational Efficiency • Larger Workforce • Speed to react to demand • Flex the workforce
Cost per Transaction is increasing

• Order turnaround time is being squeezed
• Productivity v accuracy
• Picking is ≈ 50% of Warehouse labour
• Temporary labour is a mixed blessing – Flexibility versus reliability and training times
• Employment pool reducing – Upward pressure on employment costs – Less temporary labour available (lower quality?)
Doing more with less
![Page 14: The Warehouse of the Future - IM&C › fileadmin › imc › daten › Publications › ... · Digital channel growth outpaces store growth, putting new pressures on supply chain](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1e99d7ee66ac25a347bc3c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Manually intensive processes must be analysed to minimises “dead” time – Reading – Data entry – Handling tools, paper and devices
• Measure current accuracy and productivity
• Understand the true cost of errors
• Batch picking, interleaving and intelligent picking routes

Changing demands: smaller, mixed, more often
15
The Background: (JIT, Lean distribution, smaller stores/stockrooms) • full pallets of single products vs. mixed pallets • delivered more frequently. Our customer’s problem: • How to easily and efficiently build mixed pallets • Four different customers, each with different demands
Impact of this on their business: • Productivity (Cost and efficiency) • Damage (Cost and Customer Service) • Inefficient use of container space (Cost and Efficiency) • Poor experience at receiving end (Customer Service and Customer Cost)
What about the WMS?

• Needed: Low cost solution, quick to implement, flexible, plug and play
• Pallet Stack Types: There are four different pallet stack types based upon end customer receipt restrictions:
Standard Double
Max height - 2.8m (Volume – 3.36m3)
Half Pallet
Max height – 1.4m (Volume – 1.68m3)
Single Product
Max height – 2.8m (Volume – 3.36m3)
Single Half
Max height – 1.4m (Volume – 1.68m3)
Changing retailer demands: smaller, mixed, more often

Half Pallet Pick – The quantity of cases ordered equates to a bulk pick half pallet.
Complete Layers – The quantity of cases ordered is a multiple of the layer size.
Layers + Loose Cases – The quantity of cases ordered is greater than the layer size, but not a multiple.
Loose Cases – The quantity of cases ordered is less than a full layer.
• Considered: various options: - chose Voice and Middleware. • Ran 4-user pilot to measure against current operation

• Advantages – The most cost effective in the right
situation – Should give high accuracy
• Disadvantages – Huge capital costs – Depends on predicting requirements
for the many years – Lacks flexibility

• Advantages – Not as expensive as automation – High accuracy – High productivity
• Disadvantages – Large capital investment – Lacks flexibility – Expensive to change/maintain
Pick to light

• Advantages – Lowest initial cost – Flexible – Quick to implement
• Disadvantages – Lowest accuracy – Lowest productivity – No real-time view – No visibility of operator performance – Batch picking and interleaving is difficult
Pick with paper

• Advantages – Moderate capital cost – Higher accuracy than paper – Quick to deploy – Flexible – Status Quo
• Disadvantages – Accuracy dependent on discipline – Can impact productivity – Batch picking with scanners is slower and
less accurate
Picking using scanners

Voice picking
• Advantages – Moderate capital cost – Highest accuracy after automation – Flexible – Hands and eyes free – Productivity equal to pick to light – Ideal for batch picking
• Disadvantages – Can take longer to deploy compared
to paper and scanning – Not the best fit for 100% pallet
movements
